Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

3:14-39 The Levites were in three classes, according to the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari; and these were subdivided into families. The posterity of Moses were not at all honoured or privileged, but stood upon the level with other Levites; thus it was plain, that Moses did not seek the advancement of his own family, or to secure any honours to it. The tribe of Levi was by much the least of all the tribes. God's chosen are but a little flock in comparison with the world.


Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites,.... The first son of Levi:

these are the family of the Gershonites; that were now, numbered.
